Reduce stress - increase efficiency
The success of your business relies on you and your team, therefore you need to look after the well-being of yourself and your staff to ensure you are all running on full power.
If you or any of them are stressed, unmotivated or ill they'll underperform or make mistakes, subsequently leading to inefficiency and poor company performance.
To check the well-being of you and your team, ask yourself the following questions:-
- Do you or your employees show signs of stress and/or fatigue?
- Do you or your employees lack motivation?
- Do you or your employees regularly take time off due to illness?
- Do you or your employees lack energy and vitality?
- Do you or your employees suffer from illness related to poor health practices or lack of exercise?
- Do you or your employees suffer negative emotions like anger and anxiety?
- Do you experience poor staff retention and low staff morale?
If you have answered yes to any of the above, you might want to address these issues.
Health and Well-Being is a topic that needs to taken seriously by businesses for the following reasons:-
-
Sickness absence costs business - the CBI estimates that 175 million working days were lost last year at a cost of £13 billion.
-
Simple measures to prevent and manage ill-health can reduce absenteeism which in turn improves productivity and competitive edge.
-
Healthy working environments reduce employee absence through sickness and stress.
-
Employees who feel cared for are more satisfied and perform better - reducing staff turnover and increasing productivity.
-
Being known as an organisation that cares about staff enhances your reputation and can help attract staff and customers. (Source http://www.workingforhealth.gov.uk/)
